mah boi Posted May 14, 2016 Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 I don't like it how they spoiled the surprise, as such, of showing the actual interior of the Victorian train carriage. Regardless, it looks good and it will be interesting to see how it comes out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3Dimensions Posted May 14, 2016 Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 The visuals in the advert look cool but oh my god, the script is so cheesy and the feedback of the delay on his vocals is so strong I can barely hear what he says until the 'my ghost train' line which to be honest makes it sound purely idiotic.

I think it add atmosphere and captures the mood of the ride. And why he says my , is obviously because everyone who's who Derren is and would get quite intimidated by the idea of him consoling your mind ! Haha , that my thinking anyway Olistjj 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Mower Posted May 14, 2016 Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 Got to see the shop for the first in person yesterday and it looks amazing! Really am impressed with the amount of themeing put into it and the atmosphere it gives, all my mates said how good it looks and how well themed it is so hats off to Merlin on that! Just a shame it was delayed opening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L7123456 Posted May 14, 2016 Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 All photos from TPM's Facebook. They show a boring queue jumping sign, a nice looking blue queue time board, and the luggage sign. My only question is this: What is that huge area on the bottom left of the luggage photo for? I'm guessing to hold the 60 people going into the building at one time.

Ian-S Posted May 14, 2016 Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 A photo of Derren and his chained up monster was featured on 'have I got news for you' last night, nothing specific mentioned about Thorpe, it was in the piss take 'and finally' section at the end, but funny and unusual at the same time.

Coaster Posted May 14, 2016 Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 It looks like they've taken out part of the queueline in the second photo, probably temporary though. My guess is that "Luggage" is the bag drop room? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshC. Posted May 14, 2016 Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 The hanging carriage being a shell to disguise a ride system is the most logical thing I can think of at the moment. How else are you actually going to get down from it into the rest of the building? Works nicely with the idea of 'grand illusion' too - doesn't seem too out of the question to have this huge, Victorian train carriage seemingly disappear, despite the fact you're inside it, for example.

Yer while that makes sense I don't see if you are going to load one train carrying only 60 people , surly the throughput is going to be so slow? and if there is two trains how are you going to load the two together , when there is only one unit in the building ? , the ride is so clever and utterly mind boggling ! , it really is an illusion. I just hope it is perfected and performed correctly on opening day . So I hope they do a lot of tests before . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysterio Ka Posted May 14, 2016 Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 I wish I had evidence to confirm it, but I have heard, from a lot of trustworthy sources that this will be a multi car (3 car) ride. Obviously my account is as good as the next person, but this is what I have listened to from multiple sources. I do question how the interior of the trains will be done, assuming you walk into a victorain train 'shell' but the interior would be of a modern one, or vice versa.

Benin Posted May 15, 2016 Report Share Posted May 15, 2016 It's not exactly difficult to refurb the interior of something old into something new... As for it being 'mind boggling', we can only say that when the thing eventually opens... They might just be using a really simple trick or whatever, because lets face it, those are usually better than over-elaborate ones... Peppers' Ghost is still in use for that exact reason...

MattyMoo Posted May 15, 2016 Report Share Posted May 15, 2016 One would assume that by having multi-cars they can then increase throughput - the experience in car 1 starts and after X minutes that car perhaps moves into the hanging train as suggested, by which time car 2's experience has started and is timed so that it enters the hanging train once car 1 has moved back out.

Professor Drunk Posted May 15, 2016 Report Share Posted May 15, 2016 If this thing isn't open soon I'm gonna be so tired. Re-enacting thriller after wine every night since the ride's delay is hard work. Ian-S and David B 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yeah Posted May 15, 2016 Report Share Posted May 15, 2016 The shell idea is a good theory - be interesting to see how it fits into the story (if correct). It seems the best bet at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
